GitHub Hit by Unplanned Outage Affecting Multiple Core Services
A significant outage hit GitHub on Monday at 3:40pm CEST, causing multiple core services to experience elevated error rates and reduced availability.
The Microsoft-owned code development platform struggled with a range of actions, including its AI coding assistant GitHub Copilot, which operated with limited functionality during the incident.
Service conditions improved gradually from around 7pm CEST as GitHub identified the causes of the outage and began to restore availability. However, its status page continued to report significant problems with Copilot and partial outages affecting GitHub Issues.
